Ingredients

  • 2 cups (260 g) all-purpose flour plus more for work surface
  • ¼ – ⅓ cup (55-75 g) sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (12 g) baking powder
  • 3⁄ 4 teaspoon (4.27 g) salt
  • 1 tablespoon (6 g) orange zest , grated
  • 6 tablespoons (85.05 g) unsalted butter , cold and cut into pieces
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1⁄3 cup (80 g) heavy cream , plus more for brushing tops
  • 1 teaspoon (4.20 g) vanilla
  • 1 ¼ cups (156.25 g) fresh raspberries
  • cup (60 g) white chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk or sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt and orange zest.
  • Work in the butter just until the mixture is unevenly crumbly; it’s OK for some larger chunks of butter to remain unincorporated.
  • Whisk together eggs, heavy cream and vanilla.
  • Gently fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened, then add the raspberries and white chocolate and mix until it holds together (like a ball).
  • Put dough on floured surface, and pat (gently!) with your hands only, until dough is about 1/2” thick. Fold dough over on itself about 5 times, and then gently press down.
  • Use a large knife to slice the dough into 4 equal portions. Cut diagonally to produce 8 triangular slices of dough.
  • Separate wedges and place on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush with cream
  • Bake at 400° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  • Remove and serve warm.
